Max Kruse matches record with his 16th straight converted penalty kick in Union Berlin’s biggest-ever Bundesliga win.
The former Germany striker scored from the spot early in the second half to tie Hans-Joachim Abel’s record in the top division. Abel scored his penalties for Fortuna Dusseldorf, Bochum and Schalke between 1973 and 1984.
Kruse set up the unmarked Robert Andrich to sweep in under the crossbar in the 13th, then played Becker in for Union’s third before the break. Leipzig moved top ahead of the late game between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich with a 3-0 win at home over Freiburg. Marcel Sabitzer made sure with a penalty in the 70th, before Angelino wrapped it up with a brilliant free kick in the 89th.
